The Judges, by a special note annexed to their award, called .the attention of the Club and the Company to the excellent qualities of Mr. Thomas Brooks's three-year old Scotch ox, in Class ;as also to the high perfection of Earl Maccfestielo's, Mr. John Ednu.thd's, and Mr. Wrri.

The necessity of this Mode of proceeding is stated to arise from the City of - London having , spent seven years in ineffettual atteiuuts and schemes for enlarging this impartant market, whose 'extent remains the.satue now as it was in the reign of William the Cori queror.

" They have,seen in the Gazette, .No: 59, of this capital, published y es t er d ay , cop i es. of:. the three Madrid Gaz e tt es , ,of the. 13th, 17th, and nth of May,, inserted by order of your Excellency, tbr the information of the whole of, this kingdom.; and t. their consternation has reached - the 'highest pitch. " From the intbrinalities to be remarked in the Protest, and its. ratification, attributed to his Ma jesty D. Carlos IV. and in the letter of the Emperor of the French, said to have been addressed to Seig nior D. Ferdinand Vll.—from the alarming contents of all these instruments, and from .the ssrie of the succeeding events, there tan be no doubtAliat .the renunciations of our unfortunase PrinceS, which , even if voluntary, would have been invalid, have been extorted by extreme violence, and di&ated 'by the imperious and irresistible force of necessity. " Our Mother Country occupied by 160,000 men, (who, received as allies, and treated as friends, in -return for this generous hospitality, have seized the fortresses, whence they held out the alternative of slavery or death) actuallystirprized, unprovided, and defenceless, cannot, at least a: this moment, generally.manitest her resolution, punish the. out rages she has suffered, and combat the'oppression under which she labours. Weconceive that New Sp a i n , h a ppy, l oya l , brave, opulent, and the envy of the world, under the indispensable obligation of preserving tbr it na tural sovereigns or their lawful successors, under our existing religion. laws, and Customs, this pre cious niheritance of their august ancestors. " Vera' Cruz, the tirst;settlernent on thi s Conti nent which swore allegiance to them—loyal, ,obe dient, and singularly attached to its Monarchs—is duly impressed with the unalterable fidelity of- your Excellency, and all the tribunals of the kingdom ; and its inhabitants are ready to sacrifice their lives and property in support of the most dignified and important undertaking which has ever been -pre sented to the characteristically faithful hearts of Spaniards. " We 'have accordingly this day, in our own name, and in that of all the inhabitants, assured the Military Governor, Don Pedro Alonso, that he may confidently rely on our exertions as tar as they may be thought' necessary for the said purpose and, meanwhile, we cherish the hope that the hand of . the Almighty, the Special Protector of Catholic Kings, blessing the ett;ffts of our patriotiSm, will . deliverthe most innocent Ferdinand from the bonds of captivity, by one of those means which limited human conception 'ought to adore, but is incapable of comprehending, and that he will be 'restored to his august throne, or that he will establish it in this important asylum of his misfortunes. " We feel the highest satisfaction in thinking that your Excellency, animated with similar sentiments and wishes, will make all the exerti ons , t h at are suited to your exalted functions and obligations, and by so doing, immortalize your name in the temple of fidelity. " This line of condua is, in our opinion, not only prescribed by the inmost sentiments of our ardent loyalty, but also by the interest of our captive. coun try,ssince, should she deliver herself from the yoke that oppresses her, she would be stripped of this valuable Colony, were it in the mean time surren dered to the Government- of the Usurper; and such surrender might, perhaps, render abortive all 'the efforts for her deliverance. • " Policy, patriotism, character, indignation, alike summon us triresistance and an heroic defence; and posterity, impelled by heart-felt gratitude, will con secrate the most splendid monuments to the me mory of your Excellency, and all the happy and loyal inhabitants of New Spain,. whose sentiments, we flatter ourselves, with the most just Confidence, are all equally unanimous, as your Excellency Mil .be able to convince yourself, if you will be pleased .to assemble and consult their Representatives. Those of this most faithful city Ratter them selves that your Excellency will receive, with ap-, probation, this small proof of their drdent zeal, and that you will be pleased to communicate to them such instructions and commands as shall secure the attainment of their objet, and admit them uklie greatest possible share of the glory of attracting the admiration of the Universe .to th e extent of the loyalty of the successors of the immortal Cortes, and the attachment of the Americans to their Sovereigns, the more ardent in consequence of their being en compassed by misfortunes, and separated from their subjetts,and dominions.

After hair.; ing got a sb*t distance from Hyde .

He discovered one Of the trunks; cones taming` private papers, &c. in the middle ofthe turn.. pike-road, but the other, containing considerable' valuables, wo not found. It is conjedured, from. certain circumstances, that the robbery was preme-. ditated, and the Officers belonging to Marlborough-i• street Police Office, are endeavouring to trace tb • I • thieves. - Another robbery was committed on the property of Sir' Samuel Hod; at about the same .time as the former. The Admirals servant had been sent to fetch a small package from Phillimote-place, Bromp ton, to his town-house, in Wimpole-street. The servant, on coming back, was met by a genteel dressed man, who informed him he had been long on his errand, that his Mistress w a s waiting the ar.;• rival of the package, and that he was to return to Phillimore-Place, to fetch another package. . The robber by this artifice got possession of the property,;. and the credulous servant returned to Phillircore place as he was ordered.
